Core sense — he broke his head so that the wound reached the brain; he overcame and abased himgenerated

1.1the sun pained his دِمَاغدَمَغَتْهُ الشَّمْسُ

Muḍāriʿ دَمَغَ and دَمُغَ: he broke his head so that the wound reached the دِمَاغ [or brain].

Or he broke the bone of his دِمَاغ. Or he struck a person's head so that the stroke reached the دِمَاغ.

And he struck his دِمَاغ and broke the interior of the skull, next to the دِمَاغ.

1.1.1figurative · مجازso that it may overcome it, or prevail over it, and abolish itفَيَدْمَغَهُ

In the Qur'ān 21:18.

Az: so that it may do away with it, in such a way as to make it despicable.

he overcame him much, so as to subdue him, or abase himدمّغهُ

on this sense Maṣdar as above: he overcame, or subdued, and abased, him, or it — as the truth does falsehood.

1.1.2figurative · مجاز — inferred[the produce of] the land was eatenدُمِغَتِ الأَرْضُ
1.1.3figurative · مجازhe slaughtered for them a lean sheep or goatدَمَغَهُمْ بِمُطْفَئَةِ الرَّضْفِ

So says Lh, except that he does not explain the verb; it is explained in this way by Ibn-'Abbád and Z. Some say a fat sheep or goat.

1.2she (a woman) put a دَامِغَة to her حويّةدمغت حَوِيَّتَهَا

This last is a stuffed thing that she rode on upon her camel.

The verb is written in the L and TA without teshdeed, so it is apparently دَمَغَتْ, but it may be دَمَّغَتْ.

Core sense — the brain; the marrow, or stuffing, of the headgenerated

1a thin skin, like a pouch, in which the brain is containedأُمُّ الهَامِ

A word whose meaning is well known: [The brain;] the marrow of the head, or the stuffing of the head.

Also أُمُّ الرَّأْسِ, or أُمُّ الدِّمَاغِ; the “or” here is apparently a mistake for “and”.

[These three terms, امّ الهام and امّ الرأس and امّ الدماغ, seem all to mean the meninx; see أُمٌّ. But the first and second of them seem to have been taken by the author or the copyists of the K for different explanations of الدَّمَاغُ.]

The plural of paucity is أَدْمِغَةٌ, and the plural of multitude دُمُغٌ.

Core sense — having his head broken so that the wound reaches the brain; stupid, foolishgenerated

1having his head broken so that the wound reaches the دِمَاغ [or brain]مَدْمُوغٌ

The headword has the same meaning, and it is likewise applied to a woman.

The plural, applied to men and to women, is دَمْغَى.

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferred

Both words also mean: stupid; foolish; or unsound, dull, or deficient in intellect.

مُدَمَّغٌ is used incorrectly by the common people in this sense, as though it meant overcome, so as to be subdued or abased, by the devil.

It is said in the “Námoos” that this last word may be correct as having an intensive meaning; but it may allow such a meaning and still be incorrect, not having been heard from people of chaste speech.

Nounدَامِغَةٌ4 senses · 1 main

Core sense — a head-wound reaching the brain; a harmful palm spadix; an iron on the saddlegenerated

1

A wound in the head, reaching the دِمَاغ [or brain], which no one survives. It is the last in degree of the wounds called شِجَاج [plural of شَجَّةٌ].

These are ten: [1] قَاشِرَةٌ, also called حَارِصَةٌ and حَرْصَةٌ; or, as some think, the حارصة, or حرصة, is different from the قاشرة. [2] بَاضِعَةٌ. [3] دَامِيَةٌ. [4] مُتَلَاحِمَةٌ. [5] سِمْحَاقٌ. [6] مُوضِحَةٌ. [7] هَاشِمَةٌ. [8] مُنَقَّلَةٌ. [9] آمَّةٌ, also called مَأْمُومَةٌ. [10] دَامِغَةٌ.

A'Obeyd adds دَامِعَةٌ, with the unpointed ع, after دَامِيَةٌ; or, according to F, who says that J erred in putting it so, before دامية. But J is right in this case.

[See شَجَّةٌ دَامِعَةٌ, under دَامِعٌ. Several other terms are mentioned in the TA, but these, which will be found in their proper articles, seem all to be synonymous with some of those mentioned above. See also شَجَّةٌ.]

1.1a spadix that comes out long and hardطَلْعَةٌ

It comes out from among the broken portions of the قُلْب [or heart of the palm-tree], and if it is left it spoils the palm-tree; so when it is known to be there, it is detached.

1.2

An iron above the مُؤَخَّرَة [or hinder part] of the camel's saddle called رَحْل; also called غَاشِيَةٌ. Or an iron with which the back of the رحْل is fastened. The plural is دَوَامِغُ.

ISh says that the دوامغ are above the middle of the heads, or upper ends, of the curved pieces of wood called أَحْنَآء [plural of حِنْوٌ]; sometimes they are of wood, firmly bound; and they are the same as خَذَارِيفُ, plural of خُذْرُوفٌ.

Az says that when the دامغة is of iron, it is placed crosswise above the two ends of the حِنْوَانِ, and nailed with two nails, the خذاريف being fastened upon the heads of the cross-pieces so that they do not come apart.

[What it is, I am unable to explain further. It is perhaps so called because it is placed where a person is liable to have his head wounded by it.]

1.3

A piece of wood placed across between two poles, on which the skin for water or milk is hung. Ibn-'Abbád.

(TA.) [What it is, I am unable further to explain. It is perhaps thus called because so placed that a person is liable to have his head wounded by it.] And A piece of wood placed across between two poles, upon which is hung the skin for water or milk.
